Differences between Investing vs Trading
Meta Platforms was founded as Facebook in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The company's mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. In October 2021, Facebook changed its company name to Meta to reflect its focus on the metaverse, and in June 2022 its Nasdaq ticker changed from FB to META.
Today, Meta owns some of the world's largest social media and messaging apps, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. More than 3.6 billion people use at least one of these apps every day, which gives businesses of all sizes a large potential audience for their products and services.
The Meta share price has been on a roller coaster ride in recent years. After peaking in September 2021, the stock fell by more than 75% to a low of $88.09 per share in November 2022. It then recovered strongly as the company cut costs and invested heavily in artificial intelligence. It passed its 2021 record in January 2024 and reached an all-time high of $796.25 per share in August 2025.
Meta continues to face regulatory scrutiny in the US and Europe, which could impact the company's bottom line. Investors are also watching its heavy spending on AI closely. Only time will tell how these factors will impact Meta's stock price.
Investing in Meta shares is a long-term play. You're buying a piece of a company that you believe will be successful over the long term. When you invest in Meta, you're buying shares in a company, and you hope that the value of those shares will increase over time. Trading Meta share price CFDs is a short-term play. You're not buying shares in the company, you're simply betting on the direction of the share price. If you think the share price will go up, you buy a CFD. If you think it will go down, you sell a CFD.
When you trade Meta share price CFDs, you're also subject to leverage. This means that you can control a large position with a small amount of capital. Leverage can work for you or against you, and it's important to understand how it works before you trade.
